Yuck, summer is here. I hate the heat. My body doesn't like the heat. Thankfully (at least for the time being) it cools down at night.

Pretty much the only thing I like about summer (besides the longer days) is that most of my shows are summer shows: Leverage, Warehouse 13, White Collar, and Burn Notice. (My favorite show Psych used to be a summer show. I'm hating having to wait until fall, most likely October, for the new season. Especially after the last season cliffhanger!)

I wish I was going to Comic-Con. Psych and Warehouse 13 are going to be there. Why did I have to be so poor? (It's only about a 12 hour drive away from where I live.)

Home fireworks scar me. Years ago (I don't remember exactly how many) my cousin had one of those flower fireworks (that's what we call them) and we were all at my grandmothers trailer, and just down the hill from her there was an area w/bushes. Well he threw one in the air (we had been doing that w/a lot of them) and he threw it so far it landed in the bushes and caught the bushes on fire! We kept telling him to go find it an check it and he wouldn't, then the next thing we knew the bushes were on fire. And right next to those bushes was a laundromat and a couple other trailers. It was so scary watching the fire and praying that no structures would be burned to the ground.

I was going to watch 1776 today and totally forgot! (I never knew Mr Feeny could sing until I watched it the first time!) The past few years, it had been my tradition to watch it on the 4th. I'll just have to try to remember to watch it tomorrow.

I had an exciting an afternoon. A neighbor's car came out of gear or something & rolled and hit and broke the natural gas meter right outside my door causing a gas leak. I had to call 911 and everything. It was really kind of scary. Though we're lucky it wasn't any worse than it was. The fire dept got here before the gas company and turned off the gas. Then the gas co had to replace the meter.

I got to see my sister who lives in Mississippi for the first time in 2 1/2 years, and her 3 children. The youngest is only 4 months old so I hadn't met her yet and she's so cute! It was a lot of fun to see them.

I couldn't decide what book to read next because all of the books that have been suggested to me by other people all have waiting lists at my library so I'm reading Sense and Sensibility again. After my first reading I added Colonel Brandon to my list of favorite fictional characters.

I really dislike Disney Channel now, because they think that every single actor they have is a good SINGER too. I understand that autotune is a nifty tool, but let's not overkill it, shall we? I miss the older shows, like That's So Raven, The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody and others. Those were so good! I suppose it's for the best that Selena, Demi & Miley are all off of the channel, but now it depresses me...almost as much as this dead site does

I miss when it used to be really poppin' here, when Randomness was overflowing with posts, and when you couldn't go without checking the Lex every day because you'd miss something. Now, I can go in here once every two weeks or so and I haven't missed a thing. Where is everybody?! I'm not even as much of a Twilight fan as I used to be, but I still love this place and wish that everyone hadn't abandoned it.

School's starting soon, which I'm nervous about. I'm class president, and I'm really excited to start leading my class and doing lots of things. I've been working as a summer camp counselor this year and my kids are fantastic, enough that they've made me want to shift my focus to working with children instead of what I originally intended on doing, theatre. I still love performing, but I really love making an impact with these kiddos. It's so much fun, and rewarding too!
